After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

In the Hundred Flowers Valley, the afternoon sun was quiet. Many people were taking a nap. Mrs. Lu Si's window was open and she was sitting at the table in a daze.

A man in black came in through the window and called her in a low, hoarse voice, "Yingying."

The person who came was Meng Jiuan, a distant cousin who was living in the Lu family. Before Mrs. Lu married into the Lu family, the two of them had a connection and fell in love.

If the Lu family had not forced them to marry, they would have gotten married and, as agreed, traveled all over the country and made their home there.

As the mistress of Baihua Valley, Mrs. Lu naturally didn't have time to come for the invitation. She was always pleasing in her behavior, so Mrs. Lu asked her to bring the Lu family girl over to play.

Meng Jiuan would not let go of this rare opportunity for a tryst. He said he was visiting his colleague's home, but in fact he followed him silently.

It's not easy for them to meet in the mansion.

Meng Jiuan was so angry that he couldn't help himself when they met. He just looked at the marks of whipping on her body and the marks of knife scratching on her arms, and frowned.

"He did that to you?"

Although Fourth Master Lu was disabled, he was still restless. He couldn't remain indifferent with his lovely wife by his side. Since he couldn't do it himself, he used tools to torture her.

But it was not as tragic as this time. For a moment she really thought she was going to die.

The way he looked at her was so cold that it chilled her heart. He was merciless with his hands, wishing he could take her life.

"I wonder if he knows something."

Although he is a cripple, he is the youngest son of the old lady. Because he poses no threat, he is very favored in the Lu family.

Meng Jiuan said with some worry, "We can't delay this any longer. Yingying, let's run away. Otherwise, once it gets out, you and I will both die."

Madam Lu Si pushed him away irritably, "Let me think about it. It's not the end of the road yet."

She could run away, and travel the world with him. But her sister was at the age of a flower, and her mother was in poor health. How could she bear to let them wander around with her? Besides, she couldn't afford to take the risk in the troubled times.

Neither of them was in the mood for romance, and after Meng Jiuan left, she re-dressed herself and went out with her trusted maid.

Jiang Xue Ning was not surprised at all when she heard Qing He say "Mrs. Lu is here to visit."

Ever since she revealed her identity at the Lu family last time, she has been waiting for her to come.

During this period, people also checked her past and many things.

The fourth lady smiled and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing you by visiting me."

Jiang Xue Ning said politely, "I'm bored and looking forward to someone talking to me."

She is a good talker. Everything becomes very interesting when she talks about it. It is not a boring thing to talk to her.

But when she picked up the teacup and raised her hand to drink tea, her wide cuffs slipped down, revealing the scratches on her arms.

Jiang Xue Ning's gaze was naturally attracted, and she stared at her scratches for a few more seconds.

She put down the teacup and said frankly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, but my husband has a bad temper."

This is equivalent to saying in disguise that Fourth Master Lu treats her badly and abuses her.

It's interesting. There must be other intentions behind exposing one's shortcomings like this.

Jiang Xue Ning asked obediently, "Why does Fourth Master Lu treat you like this?"

As far as she knew, most people who mentioned Fourth Madam Lu expressed sympathy and praise. She had a good reputation among the ladies, who said she was warm and interesting. Therefore, many people sympathized with her for marrying a useless man and that this was the end of her life.

"Because he's a loser and he's angry at me because he can't eat, so he torments me in various ways. Also, because I'm not a good woman and I'm not faithful to my husband, he's noticed it!" Mrs. Lu sneered.

Caiyue and Qinghe, who were serving on the side, widened their eyes, shocked by her straightforwardness. Is this something that can be said?

Jiang Xue Ning was surprised for a moment, then smiled and raised her eyebrows, "He is not good enough, so it is normal for you to find someone else. After all, you did not marry him voluntarily. You just made a mistake that all men in the world would make."

The usually strong person's eyes turned red. She covered her face and said, "Although I didn't marry him willingly, I wanted to live a good life with him at the beginning."

She was very open-minded. If the Lu family could protect the three of them, mother and daughter, she would be willing to do her best to take care of him and accompany him through the last journey of his life.

When he passed away, she would stay with him. There was nothing wrong with being a lady who had no worries about food and clothing.

Therefore, the day before her wedding, she had already made it clear to Meng Jiuan that they were done.

But he treated her badly, like a piece of ice that could not be warmed up. He always tortured and abused her and could not bear to see her happy. He had a bad temper and a dark personality.

The Lu family was a well-known and prestigious family, and the old lady had talked to her several times in person. She knew that she had to endure it, and no matter how wronged she was behind others, she had to pretend to be happy in front of others.

Those days were too hard to bear. She often suspected that she had schizophrenia. She cried behind people’s backs but laughed in front of others. She broke down countless times at night.

After she was injured once, she hid in a rockery and cried alone. She was found by Meng Jiuan, and their old love was rekindled.

She laughed and cried, "That kind of life is too hopeless. I need a little comfort and warmth to support me. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that I will go crazy."

Some things cannot be turned back once the arrow is shot, and she doesn't want to turn back.

Jiang Xue Ning listened to her talk about her painful past quietly and comforted her earnestly, "It's not your fault, it's the fault of the useless man. He is incompetent and can only take it out on women."

She laughed instantly, "I don't think I'm wrong, I'm just too useless and don't know how to break free from this cage."

Every day in the Lu family was painful for her. During the day, she was the humorous and enthusiastic Fourth Lady Lu. At night, she was always waiting for various tortures.

She couldn't complain, or even cry in front of others.

Every time he tortured her, the servants in the room would tacitly leave.

He liked to hear her screams, and when her shrill cries echoed throughout the courtyard, everyone seemed to be deaf.

She often felt that everything was ridiculous. Even the dogs in the Lu family probably knew what had happened to her. But they all pretended to know nothing and watched her struggle helplessly and drown bit by bit.

"As long as he is happy, what does my life or death matter?" she said sarcastically, "The old lady even regretted that I couldn't leave him a child."

Jiang Xue Ning said to Cai Yue, "Bring the medicine box and apply medicine to the Fourth Madam."

The fourth lady said, "No, I'm used to it. This injury won't kill anyone. I came to see you today because of other things."

Jiang Xue Ning was extremely curious about her identity. The point was finally coming. She pricked up her ears and said, "Madam, please go ahead. I'd like to hear the details."

She took a sip of tea and said in an unfathomable voice, "It was not a coincidence that Princess Chen was defeated by Xiao Shujin. It was a fate that was destined from the moment they met."

"This is fate..."
